Slog - Comments on I Demand a Recount! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/i_demand_a_recount I thought "Savage Lovecast" was the most socially destructive podcast available on the Interwebs--but no, apparently that honor falls to "Polyamory Weekly." Alexander Cornswalled--dig that name!--is a "Conservative Christian, writing and podcasting about religion, morals and the fight to halt the decay of American society and civilization." He slams Violet Blue's podcast ("unapologetic pornography... the only podcast for which I did not listen to an entire episode"), This American Life ("the Lifetime Channel for Liberals"), and some podcasts I haven't heard of but will definitely be checking out ("Nobody Likes Onions," "Dawn and Drew," "A Prairie Home Companion"), but "Polyamory...

Do not react with anger, as that will only make matters worse, but respond with Christian love and understanding."

Being on the receiving end of that kind of "love and understanding" doesn't sound very appealing, does it?

I'm totally rooting for your depravity to get noticed in his rankings, but it ain't hard to understand why people like him would feel so threatened by polyamory -- unlike, say, gay monogamous marriages, if it were to gain widespread acceptance it might conceivably have an effect on this sacred institution Al Cornhole and his ilk are so keen on defending.

But I'm confident you can edge out Prairie Home Companion.

Do you think this guy will review your podcast if it comes from you? Perhaps the prospects would be better if an illusory Christian soldier directed his attention to your heathen work.

While watching the vid I thought it was a parody but after checking over his site I'm not so sure. Usually there are small, subtle ways people out themselves and I see a few things that could be construed as such there but he keeps a pretty, er, straight face the entire time.

Gotta be a joke. Please, please let it be a joke.

Subtle and clever but fake nonetheless. The accent is fake, the "cause" is silly, and he knows way too much about NYC to be a true hillbilly. He also refers to a "liberal's wet dream" in a blog entry. Even the name is fake. I rest my case. Kudos to the satarist behind the mask!

You'd think that having access to televisions and radios would even things out, but not so much.

Oh yeah, and people in the Midwest see Seattle folks on TV and scratch their heads and wonder if they're for real too.
